posted by Eckhard HenkelSTAFFMOD on January 19, 2018 at 10:59 AM
Item: Operation Walküre - Das Stauffenberg Attentat
Language: de
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: There is a wrong spelling of the German title. Wrong: "Operation Walküre - Das Stauffenberg Attentat", right: "Operation Walküre – Das Stauffenberg-Attentat". Between "Stauffenberg" and "Attentat" a hyphen is needed.

Here's the movie on the offical website of "20th Century Fox Germany":
http://www.fox.de/valkyrie
It says: "Operation Walküre - Das Stauffenberg Attentat" -> without a hyphen!

Samara, thank you for taking care of the topic! Obviously, many sources follow the wrong spelling. "False" means that in German it is a grammatical mistake to use a space instead of a hyphen at this point. It seems the producers were unaware of this rule. The official website no longer exists, even in the Internet Archive I could not find any archived version of the official website. IMDb mentions a correct spelling, but that is not an official source. I have no idea how we can solve the issue. Maybe it would be better to leave the spelling, even if it contains a mistake. I know there are more examples with grammatically incorrect spellings.
